I am in a bit of pickle, I have had my iphone 3G for the past 2 years and it’s been pretty good. It is my understanding that Apple has a new software update coming out called OS 4 and it’s supposed to be adding some new features to the Apple iPhone. The problem is that I bought Verizon’s new HTC Incredible the HTC Incredible and it’s an incredible phone, way better than the iphone 3gs, BUT I’m hearing that Apple is going to be coming out with a brand new iphone altogether, and it’s supposed to be really nice but no one has any ideas as to when and Apple isn’t saying a thing. Should I keep my HTC Incredible, that I have a month to test and send it back if I don’t want to keep it, or should I return it, keep my current apple iphone and wait for the release for the new iPhone- tough to make up my mind.

There are a lot of cheap android phones coming to market, notably from Huawei. Although HTC also has cheapers ones (Tattoo).

But I also figure a lot of hackers already own android phones

You can find G1’s on eBay but they are still expensive. This is likely due to most people still being under contract since Android phones haven’t been on the market that long yet.

Over time I suspect the prices for used Android phones to drop, and I hope Mark is right that some people find other cool uses for them instead of trashing or selling them.

From what I’ve seen the Android G1 is ~$400. Is there a way to get one for less, or perhaps use something similar?

Cool robot! Hope to see more.

This made me wonder about something: an open device retains value better than a closed one because it can be repurposed. I wonder if this will cause a noticeable reduction in the number of phones that end up in landfills…
